It wasn’t until recently that I realised that you don’t have to have plastic surgery to improve your skin, and give you that uplift that age and gravity causes you to lose over time. Whether we realise it or not, constant exposure to pollution and sun in particular can cause damage. One day you look at yourself in the mirror and realise that you have pigmentation, fine lines or small thread veins on your face and really what can you do to change it?

There are plenty of options, but do you have the time and the money to have plastic surgery to bring back the youthfulness you once possessed? Most of us do not want to go down this route so what are the solutions? You can have Botox ® and fillers, which help to erase wrinkles around your forehead and eyes and give you back a youthful look or you can take the route I recently chose.

I’ve known Elisabeth Bester, owner of Marlow Face and Body, for some time but had never appreciated that the services she offers gives women back confidence in their looks, not only through the body but the face, neck

and décolletage. We all age in different ways but you can be sure that age and sun have a massive impact on the skin ageing.

So how do you embark on this journey?

I had a consultation with Elisabeth to find out what was special about her machines and what they could

achieve. At the initial consultation, Elisabeth went through the solutions for improving your skin; all that she can help you with from reducing pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and just about anything else you feel has become an imperfection. After analysing your skin, you arrange for 6-8 treatments over a period of 12-16 weeks in the comfort of her clinic in the centre of Marlow. Parking is available,

so you don’t have to worry about trying to find a space.

Of course, anything new will always fill you with some form of anxiety because although you have discussed the treatment, you are not quite sure what form it will take. Elisabeth puts you at your ease and talks you through exactly what she is going to do when showing you the laser machine. The laser is placed on your face and Elisabeth gives you a demonstration so you know exactly what it will feel like. I can only say that I found the warmth of the laser on my face quite relaxing. The laser does make a small noise, but it didn’t bother me at all.

Wow, after three treatments I could really notice a difference in my skin. It looked fresher, felt plumper, softer and smoother. I could only imagine what it would be like at the end of six treatments.

The next two treatments consisted of removing the pigmentation and spider veins in my face. These treatments are slightly different to the tone and texture sessions as they require you to numb your face prior to an appointment as the laser is more intense and can be a little uncomfortable. Prior to taking one of these sessions, Elisabeth does a patch test so that you know exactly what to expect.

These two treatments, as well as causing a little discomfort, can leave your face initially looking quite pink from where the laser has been.

Elisabeth described that the pigmentation would intensify and then disappear, which it indeed did. I couldn’t believe how patchy my skin had become, but after the treatment it is lovely and smooth and clear of pigmentation, blemishes and sun spots.

The process for removing the spider veins is very similar to the removal of pigmentation, but a different laser is used. The results to date are fantastic as my face has a plumpness that I haven’t seen since my younger years.

If you are looking for a natural looking anti-ageing treatment, why not go and have an initial consultation. The results are fantastic with minimal downtime as the appointments are approximately an hour long and Elisabeth works with you so that you feel comfortable through every treatment.

To maintain the changes in my skin I will be returning every two months. It has given me back so much confidence in my appearance, and yet, I really didn’t think my skin was too bad. It just shows that as we age we don’t always see the differences that others do and now you can correct it effortlessly.
